“The Great Healthcare Plan.”
Is it great? No…
I think about Norm's moth joke more than I should. We miss ya, Norm.

"Venezuela, my homeland, actually won something. I have never seen it happen; the last time Venezuela claimed a major international trophy was in 1945 and, of course, it was in baseball... our sport, the one we actually care about and that truly runs vinotinto red in the country's collective bloodstream... And it probably had to come against the US, the geopolitical bully that has idly shoved Venezuela around for generations"

OVH Cloud (#AS16276) is raising "additional" IP4 prices from $2 USD to $2.39/month, a nearly 20% increase, on April 1, 2026 (no joke). They stated:

“How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
The answer – in SAPN’s case study – is an electrician, a plumber and software techs, who now all need to work together to ensure the home management system can control the proverbial lights.”
